Living at home during your studies?
Will you be living at home during your studies and commuting to University on a daily basis? If so, this page is for you.
If you’re one of our many students who will be living at home rather than moving into student accommodation in Bangor, please don’t worry. We know that living away from student accommodation is just one of the options that creates your individual student experience just as deciding on module choices, or which clubs and societies to join. There is plenty of support available for you to access and get involved throughout your time at Bangor.
Home Students’ Live Chat
In order to help support your transition to University, we’ve organised an online chat event where you can meet other new students as well as current students and staff. This chat will be available on Tuesday, 19 January 2021 at 12.30pm to 1.30pm. If you would like to join us, please complete this short form and we will send you an invite to the online event.
We’ve also put together some information to help you get ready for University life. This covers the essentials of what you might need to know before you start studying, information about parking, and all the things you can access once you’re a student. Each section has a link to the further information where you can find out more.
